Unlocking the true value of data often gets impeded by siloed information. Traditional data management—wherein each business unit ingests raw data in separate data lakes or warehouses—hinders visibility and cross-functional analysis. Amazon DataZone natively supports data sharing for Amazon Redshift data assets.

This would be straightforward task were it not for the fact that, during the digital-era, there has been an explosion of data – collected and stored everywhere – much of it poorly governed, ill-understood, and irrelevant. Many organisations focus too heavily on fine tuning their computational models in their pursuit of ‘quick-wins.’
